AI Article Synopsis

  • Chickpea has a higher fat content than other pulses, and this study examines the oxidative stability and sensory qualities of chickpea-sorghum extruded snacks in different proportions (50:50, 60:40, 70:30) during storage at elevated and room temperatures.
  • The results showed that as the proportion of chickpea increased, the snacks had higher levels of harmful chemical markers (peroxide and -anisidine values) and developed worse sensory attributes, such as rancid aroma and off-flavors.
  • Ultimately, a 50:50 chickpea-sorghum blend demonstrated the best shelf-life, being preferable for storage compared to higher chickpea ratios.

Article Abstract

In contrast to other pulses, chickpea has a relatively high fat content (3%-10%). This study was designed to investigate direct-expanded chickpea-sorghum extruded snacks (50:50, 60:40, and 70:30 chickpea:sorghum, w/w) with respect to: their oxidative stability and sensory properties during accelerated (55°C) and room temperature (25°C) storage; correlations between chemical markers (peroxide value and -anisidine value) and sensory data during accelerated storage; and the shelf-life of snacks extruded at the optimal expansion point as determined by a rotatable central composite design. Peroxide values and -anisidine values were in the range of 0-2.5 mEq/Kg and 5-30, respectively, for both accelerated and room temperature storage, and increased during storage ( < .05). 70:30 and 60:40 (w/w) chickpea-sorghum snacks had higher peroxide and -anisidine values compared to the 50:50 snack during storage at either temperature ( < .05). Rancid aroma and off-flavor of 60:40 and 70:30 chickpea-sorghum snacks (slightly intense = 6) also were higher than that of the 50:50 snack (moderately weak = 3) ( < .05). Significant correlations ( < .05) were found between chemical markers and sensory attributes ( < .05). The study illustrated that shelf-life decreased as the percentage of chickpea in the blend increased. Therefore, in terms of shelf-life, a 50:50 chickpea-sorghum blend is preferable.

Continuous decoupled redox electrochemical CO capture.

Nat Commun

State Key Laboratory of Intelligent Construction and Healthy Operation and Maintenance of Deep Underground Engineering, Sichuan University & Shenzhen University, Chengdu, P.R. China.

Electrochemical CO capture driven by renewable electricity holds significant potential for efficient decarbonization. However, the widespread adoption of this approach is currently limited by issues such as instability, discontinuity, high energy demand, and challenges in scaling up. In this study, we propose a scalable strategy that addresses these limitations by transforming the conventional single-step electrochemical redox reaction into a stepwise electrochemical-chemical redox process.

Identifying and tuning coordinated water molecules for efficient electrocatalytic water oxidation.

Nat Commun

Key Laboratory of Special Functional and Smart Polymer Materials of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.

Coordination complexes are promising candidates for powerful electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction but challenges remain in favoring the kinetics behaviors through local coordination regulation. Herein, by refining the synergy of carboxylate anions and multiconjugated benzimidazole ligands, we tailor a series of well-defined and stable coordination complexes with three-dimensional supramolecular/coordinated structures. The coordinated water as potential open coordination sites can directly become intermediates, while the metal center easily achieves re-coordination with water molecules in the pores to resist lattice oxygen dissolution.

Colloidal properties of nanoparticles are intricately linked to their morphology. Traditionally, achieving high-concentration dispersions of two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets has proven challenging as they tend to agglomerate or re-stack under increased surface contact and Van der Waals attraction. Here, we unveil an excluded volume effect enabled by 2D morphology, which can be coupled with electrostatic repulsion to synthesize high-concentration aqueous graphene dispersions.

Tailoring Robust 2D Nanochannels by Radical Polymerization for Efficient Molecular Sieving.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanochannels have demonstrated outstanding performance for sieving specific molecules or ions, owing to their uniform molecular channel sizes and interlayer physical/chemical properties. However, controllably tuning nanochannel spaces with specific sizes and simultaneously achieving high mechanical strength remain the main challenges. In this work, the inter-sheet gallery d-spacing of graphene oxide (GO) membrane is successfully tailored with high mechanical strength via a general radical-induced polymerization strategy.

Stabilizing the Fe Species of Nickel-Iron Double Hydroxide via Chelating Asymmetric Aldehyde-Containing THB Ligand for Long-Lasting Water Oxidation.

Adv Mater

State Key Lab of High Performance Ceramics and Superfine Microstructure, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, 200050, P. R. China.

Nickel-iron layered double hydroxides (NiFe LDHs) are considered as promising substitutes for precious metals in oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, most of the reported NiFe LDHs suffer from poor long-term stability because of the Fe loss during OER resulting in severe inactivation. Herein, a dynamically stable chelating interface through in situ transformation of asymmetric aldehyde-ligand (THB, 1,3,5-Tris(3'-hydroxy-4'-formylphenyl)-benzene) modified NiFe LDHs to anchor Fe and significantly enhance the OER stability is reported.
